Tim's Truck

[the_white_shadow]

More work over the weekend on Tim's truck. Checking things off the list.

First up i mounted the PSC reservoir, connected the cooler and modified the pressure line to fit the new location. Everything on the steering is connected with the exception of one fitting that i have on order. Just needs a fill and bleed.

Next up i finished the wiring to make the engine run/ Wired up the ECU controlled fans and everything seems to work great. I have plenty of circuits left to add for aux lights, etc.

Used a joes racing removable steering wheel adapter and welded it to the factory column. Works great on Tims Grant steering wheel he had in the previous rig.

More work.

Installed a Lokar throttle cable to work with the stock pedal. Utilized the factory cable pass through for the new cable.

Also finished out the exhaust system. 3" all the way out the back to a Dynomax muffler. To tuck it up, i cut through the horse collar. Ill plate it back up once i take the exhaust back off for final welding.

Tim and i measured for driveshafts last week, so hopefully those are back soon. Next up is getting the Winter's shifter bracket installed on the trans before i take the exhaust back off for final weld to make sure everything clears. Still have a lot to do, but the list is getting shorter.

took the exhaust back off and fully welded everything. The bracket for the winters shifter clears everything. I bolted in the seat and started to set up the shifter console and triple stick layout in the cab. I plan on making the console start at the rear seat hump and go all the way forward.

More progress: Started on a simple console and got the shifters mounted and connected. Im going to have to take apart the JB shifters and spin one of the levers around so they all line up in the Neutral position.

Cage welded out and painted. Harness bar added. Also built an air intake. Just need to add a grommet to insert an IAT probe for the Holley ECU. Its coming together. going to put a belt on it and start running some lines to the rear radiator.

took it for a test drive yesterday. Some clearance is required in a few places. These 43s are huge.

I hope to get the center console knocked out this week and clean up a few things. its getting close.

Any updates?

A few. I finished out the giant hole in the floor with a removable panel. Need to cut the sliders back on the drivers side. I trimmed more sheet metal on the passenger side and did some BFH work. Finishing up the last of the smaller details. I need to take it for a longer ride around the block to let the Holley ecu finish its learning process.
